SINUSITIS - Using essential oils for relief
This
can be a very painful condition brought on by a variety of causes from
allergies to colds and the flu. Whenever the protective mucous membranes
in your sinus cavities become compromised by either germs or other irritants,
inflammation and infection can result.
One of
the best treatments to help relieve the pain, pressure and help with infection
is steam inhalation.
Inhalation from the bottle of essential
oil or drops of oils placed on a tissue or cotton ball or Nasal Inhalers can help in between
steam treatments.
Anyone
of the following essential oils can give relief: Eucalyptus,
Lavender,
Peppermint,
Pine,
Thyme
,
Tea tree
and Rosemary.
You
can try them one at a time or combine a couple of them.

blend.

type diffuser while you sleep will also help .
